Tascam DR-10X Plug-On Micro Linear PCM Recorder for Microphones

Compact device for recording interviews and press conferences - Plug-on micro linear PCM recorder that connects directly to a mic with XLR output

The DR-10X is a micro linear PCM recorder that records audio by directly connecting to a handheld microphone with an XLR output, without cables. Compatible with dynamic mics for interviews and battery-powered condenser mics, handheld microphone and DR-10X alone will capture audio recording at high sound quality in a compact unit. Its possible applications are widely varied, with possible usages including interviewers who point the handheld microphone at the subject, when a microphone stand is used at a press conference, or for use in seminars and lectures.

A compact body that feels like holding a microphone alone

The DR-10X fits into the palm of your hand', featuring a lightweight design and a connector that prevents wobbling with its dial-on locking mechanism. As a result, it feels like you're only holding a microphone even when one is connected to the DR-10X. For small-scale interviews, you can now conduct your interview without carrying around heavy equipment - as long as you have a microphone and a DR-10X.

Supports BWF files for storing timestamp information

The recording format is set to 24bit/48kHz mono WAV (BWF format), designed for monaural recording for professional applications, including interviews and press conferences. The built-in clock function is capable of adding timestamp data to the audio file, making search and editing tasks easier.

Various functions ensure reliable recording

In terms of functionality, a sliding recording switch was employed to prevent misoperation. There are additional functions to support reliable recording, including: a function for disabling all operations beside stop during recording, and a dual-recording function that enables the recording level to be set as high as possible while simultaneously recording a backup track at a lower level. The DR-10X is a new type of plug-on micro linear PCM recorder that will expand the equipment's capabilities in audio recording settings.
